Contributing journalist

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.

Subaru Outback 2017 review
By Peter Anderson · 10 Nov 2017
Australians get a pretty good deal from Subaru. We have not one but two cars named especially for us. The Liberty is known everywhere else as Legacy and frankly, I reckon we got the better name, so we can thank that venerable veteran's organisation for that one. Second is the Outback. Essentially a jacked-up Liberty

BMW M2 2018 review
By Peter Anderson · 10 Nov 2017
I'm going to cut straight to the chase. The BMW M2 is still a humdinger. After less than two years in the market, the baby rocket has somehow already had what BMW calls a "Life Cycle Impulse". The LCI is a little mid-life refresh which has delivered a raft of improvements and extra equipment, especially to the
